“I wrote this for myself,” Kesha writes. “’Cause I was in a really sad, lonely, dark place … I remember sitting on the floor, not knowing what to do with all my emotions, and the only thing I knew what to do was write a song. And this song was like a promise letter to myself that we were gonna make it.”

Kesha went on to say that she named the album Rainbow because “the shitstorm’s over – and this is the beginning of the good stuff.”

“Sorry for being emotional,” Kesha continued. “But I’m not actually sorry. ’Cause that’s what this record is about – being vulnerable. This is what I am.”
